Some people think that mathematics is the most important subject for school children to study, while others believe that there are more important subjects. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
解析本题涉及学生在校该学什么课程，题目中明确提出了数学是最重要的课程这个观点。考生可以现讨论数学的重要性（比如数学是其他科学的基础，数学可以培养我们的思维方式，等），然后讨论其他课（比如历史、地理等）也很重要，最后得出结论：虽然数学很重要，但我们不能简单下结论认为数学是最重要的课程。
对于school children来说，更重要的是打下一个全面的基础，为大学的专门学习做好准备，因此有必要了解各门学科知识，而不仅仅是数学。本题需要针对school children来谈。即使对其他人来说数学是最重要的，但对school children而言却不一定，因为school children的最主要任务是全面掌握基础知识，为大学做准备。以下范文为老雅原创，供参考。
范文针对的题目为：Some people think it is important for all children to learn history at school. Others believe that other subjects like science and mathematics are more relevant to children’s development today. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
该题虽然与本周题目略有差异，但解题思路大致相同。请有意愿的同学按照范文思路，对本周真题进行重新写作。
History has long been a typical part of students’ list ofrequired coursesthroughout their school years. But, does historydeservea place as important as science and mathematics in the curriculum?
To begin with, history does play aninspirationalrole in a well-rounded education. That role is for students to developa sound awarenessof the past of their own country and of the wide world, withilluminatinginsightsinto the present and the future. However, how will children learn about history if they do not even study it in school? In a certain sense, theremovalof history as a core subject from school curriculum would turn out to be a tragedy for children’s education. It would befrighteningto imagine that many children are likely to leave schools without a bit of knowledge of history as a source of inspiration.
My point, however, is not to argue in favor of history and against other subjects like science and mathematics. Rather, the latter twodisciplinesare commonly considered as more valuable than history since they are more immediatelyrelevantto children’s development. Compared with history, science and mathematics usually can provide learners with suchconcreteknowledgeregardingthe number, distance, speed, and size of things in the universe. That is to say, these two courses are viewed as more practical, and therefore more valuable not only in school but also later in life.
In conclusion, history is as important as science and mathematics, although in different ways. History makes children more open-minded, while science and mathematics make them more practical. If it is the responsibility for schools to trainall-roundedstudents, then both history and science and mathematics should remaincompulsorysubjects.
